Easter Around the World

Easter Around the World

United States

  • Celebrations are a mix of religious traditions, secular customs, like church services, Easter egg hunts, the Easter Bunny, and candy.

Italy

  • Deeply religious. Easter (Pasqua) centers on Mass at the Vatican and processions in towns across the country.
  • No chocolate bunnies here—giant chocolate eggs with surprises inside are the go-to gift.

Spain

  • Poignant Holy Week (Semana Santa) processions.

Germany

  • Home of the Easter egg tree (decorated branches).
  • Celebrations include Easter fires, symbolizing the end of winter and the return of light.

Australia

  • Easter Bunny gets competition from the Easter Bilby, a native marsupial, used to raise awareness for wildlife conservation.
  • Four-day weekend includes sports, festivals, and church.
